Died Oct 12, 1865
Sweet little Johnnie lies on
The grave where we no
Longer behold thee
No tread the rough paths
Of this world by out side
But the wide arms of mercy
Are spread to enfold thee
And sinners may hope since
The sinless has died
Farewell

My darling Ludy
To dead she to early
Rest is gone
Farewell

Confederate Flag Flying on grave
That one loved form now cold and dead
Each mournful thought employs,
We weep our earthly comforts fled
And withered all our joys
